Welcome to my TEDx Talk Ep.1: But I still dare to dream
When we were little children, we often woke up in the middle of the night from some bad dream; dragons, monsters, witches were just a few of the thoughts that kept us awake at night. Our mother would stroke our hair, telling us reassuringly “it was just a bad dream, it’s gone, it’s gone”, and we’d close […]
Welcome to my TEDx Talk Ep.0: And suddenly, I saw myself through your eyes
My name is Katerina and, in my journey as a human so far, I have understood a few things. So here I am in front of my computer screen typing these words to make my own attempt to talk to you about two of them: moments and people. Or rather, better, to talk to you […]
IRIS: coloring the rainbow
November 2021. In some forgotten offices a name suddenly breaks the silence: “Iris!” a voice is heard from somewhere in the background. They look at each other for a moment. They look around the room in question. The name, as far as they know, does not belong to anyone there. “Iris!” someone repeats timidly from […]
Overthinking my overthinking

Interview with Mr Valentine
For this year’s Valentine’s Day, TEDxAUTH decided it’s time to look for its own Valentine. As a modern Penelope, we won’t deny it – because, above all, we are humble – there were many prospective suitors. Our heart, however, does not belong to Odysseus from Ithaca, but to the one and only Mr VALENTINE Tselio […]
An ode to wounded hearts
It isn’t a hidden fact that human relationships would be easier if we were well-prepared to face the possibility of being captured. If only there were a drug, some drawn out lines that you could follow because you knew that it was the only way to close your wounds. Like with injuries of the human […]
